Magnolias and Murder
It's part of a series and has 'two hooks'. The amateur detective is a stay-at-home Military spouse with young children. That has enabled Rosett to set the series in various locales. Ellie's work from home profession is as an organizer. Similar to other 'occupational' mysteries, some of the chapters conclude with organizing tips.
Those tips however, seemed exceedingly lame to me, perhaps because I fancy myself as an organizer too! Jul 29, Sandybear76 added it. Ellie is a army wife and has 2 kids.

Apr 29, Susan rated it really liked it Shelves: Air force wife Ellie Avery, adjusting to a new post in Georgia, learns that the missing woman whose image decorates every lamppost used to live in Ellie's house. Reluctantly, Ellie becomes involved in the search for Jodi, although her first attempt leads to the solution of a quite different mystery. This series is making enormous strides and should be on your to-read list.
Dec 05, Natalie rated it liked it. The clues were there later in the book and it was pretty easy to see where she was going with it. It is not badly written but not the best I have read either. Part of the problem is that I read in bits and pieces May 02, Karolinde Kari rated it really liked it Shelves: A simple walk causes Ellie to stumble on a body and the knowledge that a missing woman lived in her rented house. The red herrings in this book are incredible and yet very realistic. You find yourself thinking you know what's going on only to be fooled.
I love that Ellie is a mom first.
Murder Under The Magnolias - Without a Cue
Her kids' lives intrude on everything including the murder investigation. Sep 13, Mhd rated it liked it. A cozy with a milieu of clutter organizer, young mom with toddlers. Every so often, instead of a recipe or something, there is a hint of technique for part planning. Given the crime, these techniques seemed out of place and even bothersome.
The mystery itself was fairly interesting. I'll probably try some more by this author. May 07, Anam Cara rated it it was amazing Shelves: I think she is getting better the more she writes.
Sometimes the later books in a series tend to repeat and become boring. And Ellie seems to be realizing that there can be danger and isn't so foolhearty! Jan 20, Larisha rated it really liked it.

Jul 01, Anjula marked it as did-not-finish. The unorganized organizer was making me nuts. As were the not-related-to-the-storyline organization hints which were beyond generic. At least she would like to think so. Her landlady has other plans for her and soon Ellie is totally entrenched in finding out what happened to Jodi, the landlady's daughter.
